Yes, i can explain, there was a typo in the document.... :) its
vsd-install.pl (Document as been fixed, thanks !)

You can read all of this from the FreeVSD doc files
(/usr/share/doc/freevsd-1.4.9/)

But:
/home/vsd/skel   Will hold the skels.
/home/vsd/vs     Will hold the virtual servers.

Yes, the name of the skel is CiberNET.skel1, this is the skel  you'll use
when creating new virtual servers.

Well, the installation instructions asume you have plenty of space where
to create a skel and the virtual servers. You might read something about
this on the FreeVSD docs as well.

The files in the doc folder (see above) does explain that.

What's the purpose to have a dns ? :)

You can install whatever you want in the hosts server, as long as there
are no ip:port conflicts with any virtual server.

Sorry, the openssh-client and openssh-server ARE provided in the skel,
just that seems like i deleted the openshh-server entry on the list as a
mistake.

> 7. What's the different between ipchain & iptables?

man ipchains, man iptables

Thats out of scope of this list.

Read above, just check that there are no ip:port conflicts.
